Exposure investigation
The Churchill County health district falls under the Nevada Department of Health

each positive case of COVID-19 reported in the county. Once the investigation is
complete, DHHS contacts those who have possibly been exposed and provides
guidance on their health situation.

Reporting process
Select Language
/
Churchill County leaders are proactive in collecting COVID testing numbers on a
regular basis from Banner Churchill Community Hospital, NAS Fallon, the Narag
Fallon Family Clinic and the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe and reports those
cumulative totals as they come in on its website and social media platforms.

Precautionary measures
We urge everyone to maintain social distancing of at least six feet with non-
household family, friends, neighbors and members of the public and refrain from
public gatherings of 10 or more people. Distancing is vitally important, and we ask
again that you adhere to the Governor’s request to stay home except for essential
services like grocery shopping and medical appointments. Wearing face coverings in
public is also recommended. The mask you wear protects others; the mask they
wear protects you.

What to do if you feel sick

We remind residents who believe they have been exposed, or are exhibiting
symptoms consistent with COVID-19, to please call the Nevada Coronavirus direct
line at (800) 860-0620 and complete pre-screening before going to a medical facility.
You will be evaluated for your need for testing and assisted in obtaining testing if you
meet the appropriate criteria.
